Hopes for a job in Dubai replace the passion for carrom as Surya grows into a young man. Duped by a bogus overseas employment agency, Surya loses all his hard earned money he had saved for going to Dubai.

Surya is forced to cross paths with Jaleel.Since the 70s when the settlements in the ghetto began, Jaleel had acquired a strong hold in the area.

Reintroduced to carrom by his childhood friend Zaid, this time to the carrom hustling scene, Surya starts playing again.

Being cheated of his hard earned money by the same man who had caused misery for many families; Surya decides to take on Jaleel on his turf. His patience and cool attitude are Suryas biggest strengths. But life has its own ways of testing it.
